Isotopic test of a thermally driven intraplate orogenic model, Australia

Camacho, AHensen, BasArmstrong, Richard2015-12-132015-12-130091-7613http://hdl.handle.net/1885/72194A recently proposed model for intraplate orogenesis couples long-term self-heating of basement rocks by radioactive decay with thermal blanketing by overlying sedimentary deposits. This model has been tested in one of the type areas in central Australia,Keywords: Thermal blanketing; Geologic models; Radioactivity; Sedimentation; Geology; intraplate process; metamorphism; orogeny; provenance; tectonic evolution; thermal evolution; Australia Metamorphism; Provenance; Tectonics; Thermal disequilibriumIsotopic test of a thermally driven intraplate orogenic model, Australia200210.1130/0091-7613(2002)030<0887:ITOATD>2.0.CO;22015-12-11
